I have the fingers in the family, so the testimonial is coming from me - but, our three cats would recommend Cliff if they could type. Cliff impresses me with the way he relates to our pets as individuals, including with our Rather Shy Cat, who is reticent among most (almost all, really) people, but is relaxed by Cliff's calm demeanor. This individual attention extends to dealing compassionately with our 20-year-old cat, who needs special feeding schedules, and to the rest of the house-sitting duties. Cliff's attention to detail in caretaking is exemplary, and four-leggeds, plantings, and general household needs are tended to in a seamless fashion. And since this is really about the pets? Know this: within minutes of entering the house, Cliff has the rapt attendance of the Play-With-Me Cat, the Really Old Cat, and the Reticent Cat, and he treats each with the level of attention with which they are comfortable. That cat-acceptance says something to me, as a pet owner. I highly recommend Cliff as someone who is responsible and caring, and understanding of our animals as individuals. Mosey, Richard and Harry would agree, should they develop typing skills.
